Okay, so you'd solve it by:

$\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow {6.75 \over 1.5} * 2 }$

$\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow {675 \over 150} * 2  }$

$\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow {135 \over 75} * 2 }$

$\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow {27 \over 15} * 2 }$

$\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow {54 \over 15} }$

$\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow 3{4 \over 15} }$

Se, 3 4/15 is the answer.

You want to find out how much the cheese is per pound so:

$ Price/1.5 = Price Per Pound. PPP x 2 = your answer.

"The scale on a map indicates that 2 cm is equivalent to 15 miles. The distance Christine needs to travel is 5 cm on the map. How many miles does Christine need to travel"

If 2cm = 15 miles the 1 cm = 15/2 or 7.5 miles. 5cm = 5 x 7.5

"The ratio of children to adults at a baseball game is 2 to 5. If there are 7,200 children at the game, which of the following could not be used to determine the number of adults"

There are 2 children for every 5 adults or 5/2 = 2.5 adults per child. So divide 7200 by 2 then multiply by 2.5.
